Opinion : Judge got it right on unilingual lieutenant-governor

An opinion piece written by the Director of the International Observatory on Language Rights, Professor Érik Labelle Eastaugh, was published in the Telegraph Journal today, supporting the declaration of the unconstitutionality of the appointment of a unilingual person to the position of Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick. The article is intended to clarify certain principles regarding the substantive equality of New Brunswick's two official languages and two official language communities, and demonstrates the validity of the decision of Justice DeWare, Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench of New Brunswick.
